Catch Me Before I Fall (A Phanfiction)

Chapter 10

*Dan's POV*

It was finally Friday, school just finished and I was waiting for Phil at a nearby park. We were going to visit his dad tomorrow again, he was really nervous about this meeting after what happened the last time I just hope this time it goes okay. I heard someone walk up behind me I though it was Phil, before I could turn around to see I was pushed to the ground. "What the fuck!?" I said looking up seeing Hunter and Zoe, what was she doing with them?

"Aw the poor baby fell to the ground" Hunter said a mocking voice and Zoe just giggled. "Fuck off will you, I don't have time for you guys" I rolled my eyes getting up. "You think you're so great don't you, first you turn my friends against me and now you try sassing my boyfriend" Zoe spat. Wait her boyfriend, when did this happen? "Well I'm sorry its not my fault your boyfriend is such a prick. You know I didn't think your taste in guys was so low you must be really desperate" as soon as I finished saying that I was pushed to the ground again, he bent down and grabbed by arm digging his nails into my skin "Oh will you look at that, the emo faggot really is an emo seeking for attention. Is that how you managed to make Peter and Phil your friends? By making them feel sorry?" He laughed and Zoe gave me a disgusted look. That's it I couldn't take it anymore I launched myself towards Hunter and punched him in the face he fought back and punched me in the stomach I was quickly pulled back by someone, it was Phil and Zoe held onto Hunter who had a black eye. "You worthless piece of shit look what you did" she yelled at me "just do the world a favor and disappear, the last thing we need is a cutting attention seeker in this world" Before I could say anything Phil spoke up "Peter was right, you are a bitch, Zoe" he looked so mad and disappointed "I thought you were different from these assholes but no you're just like them. Let's go Dan." She looked hurt, but Phil didn't look bothered at all, he took my hand and we walked away and went straight to Phil's house.

"Won't Ben be home?" I asked him. "Luckily no, he's never home on Friday, he's probably at some club with his friend and he doesn't show up until Saturday evening" Phil smiled as we headed to his room. "Are you hurt?" He asked looking concerned "No I'm fine don't worry" I felt a sting and Phil grabbed my arm "Dan your cuts" he looked so worried "That Hunter must have scratched me, I was so pissed I didn't notice" I sighed. "I'll get stuff to clean your wounds wait here" Phil said before leaving the room, he came back within a minute with a first aid kit. He first cleaned the blood with a wet towel before cleaning my wounds with an alcohol swab "Ouch!" I flinched in pain "Don't be such a baby I'm almost done" he laughed and then bandaged my arm "Thanks" I smiled at him.

"Dan I'm really sorry Zoe caused all this" he said quietly "I'm sorry for what she said" I looked at Phil "I won't lie what she said was hurtful, but I'm used to it, its okay Phil" I gave him a  small smile. "You shouldn't have to be used to it Dan! Its not okay" I just looked down and sighed, Phil put his arms around me and held me close "You don't deserve to hear such horrible things Dan, you're such a great person, a great friend and an even better boyfriend, I love you" I hugged Phil tighter "I love you too" I whispered, Phil kissed my shoulder and we just held each other for what seemed like forever which I wish could be forever until my phone rang it was my mom. "Dan, honey where are you?" She asked "I'm at Phil's I'll be home soon don't worry" things were much better between my parents and I we talked more and enjoyed each others company. "I just wanted to tell you to bring Phil over for dinner, I love you" she said hanging up and I smiled at Phil "She wants you to come over tonight" he laughed "I was over for dinner three days ago I don't want to be a bother" I leaned in and gave him a quick kiss "They love having you around now come on let's go, and remember we have a big day tomorrow."

*Phil's POV*

Saturday came too soon, I was so nervous I didn't know what will happened today, but at least Dan was with me. I held his hand as we went into the station and the officer lead us to the room where I'd see my father again. "Phillip, I'm so glad you came back, you too Dan" he smiled at us, Dan nodded is head and I nervously said hello. "I really need to talk you Dad, you have to tell me the entire story" my voice was shaky. "You believe me?" He asked "I-I don't know what to believe, I just need to hear the entire story please" Dan squeezed my hand which calmed me down a bit. My father took a deep breath before starting the story "Your mother was an amazing woman, she was wonderful I loved her so much. But she felt as if she was a failure as a mother, I didn't think that feeling would get to her so much, your brother would just always give her a hard time he'd never listen and even used harsh words against her which hurt her a lot" tears streamed down his face "But why did she shoot herself?" I was crying too now. "She said she failed as a mother, she failed you and Ben, you were a great kid but Ben wasn't. I walked in on her loading a gun and I grabbed it and tried snatching it away but she shot herself. Your brother called the police when I stopped you from entering the room and sent you upstairs, my finger prints were on the gun but no one saw, I'm sure Ben did but he just.. I don't know" he put his face in his hands. I wiped my tears away and looked at my father "I-I believe you" I whispered, he looked up at me and continued to cry "H-how does Ben treat you?" He asked me and I just looked down, I didn't know what to say "Ben is horrible Mr. Lester! He treats Phil like garbage he's a violent drunken mess" Dan spoke up, I knew he wouldn't pass a moment to tell someone about Ben. "Phillip you need to get out of the house tell someone" Dad looked really worried "I'm going to be 18 soon Dad, its fine, but I promise I will clear your name" I gave him a small smile "Phillip..." He looked concerned and worried but we were cut off by an officer who said our time was up and we had to leave "Dad, call me Phil" I smiled at him before we left. I grabbed onto Dan's hand and exhaled he pulled me into a hug which kept me calm "Are you okay?" He asked sweetly. "Yeah, I guess" I pulled away "Dan, I need to clear my dad's name somehow"
